Maptitude for Redistricting Software

Maptitude Online Redistricting

Maptitude Online Redistricting is web-based redistricting software
designed for governments or organizations that want to provide their
members or the general public with a means to draw and report
redistricting plans. Because the Windows and online versions share common
file formats, plans developed online can be electronically submitted to
the central redistricting office, opened in the Windows-based software, and
analyzed to the full extent as if they had been created using the
Windows-based software.

The Maptitude Online Redistricting screen contains the plan map, a
dataview listing the existing districts and their statistics, and a
dataview of pending changes based upon the user's current actions. The
redistricting toolbox is similar to the toolbox in the desktop version,
and the user can zoom, pan, and query the map using the mapping tools.

Maptitude Online Redistricting – Public Edition

The Public Edition is
intended for states that are legally required to, or simply wish
to, open the redistricting process up to the general public.
Anyone can logon, establish a user name and password, and create
one or more redistricting plans. The system administrator can
limit the number of plans, restrict the number of districts, and
specify the level of geographic detail (e.g., to the block or
VTD). The user can transmit the finished plan to the system
administrator for further analysis. Either the state or Caliper
Corporation can host the Public Edition.

Maptitude Online Redistricting – Legislator Edition

The Legislator Edition is intended for states that use the
Windows-based version for their redistricting staff and key
legislators, but who want to extend the redistricting capability
to the members at large. The Legislator Edition contains many of
the features found in the Windows-based software but has been
simplified in a number of ways so that members peripheral to the
core redistricting process can still participate with little or
no training in the software. For example, the online version
does not let the user modify the plan settings. The system
administrator sets the control field, number of districts,
summary fields, geographic hierarchy, etc. The user has the
choice of creating a new plan from an empty plan (a template),
the current plan, or a copy of an existing plan.

The Legislator Edition contains strict user-access controls
requiring a user name and password. Users can create multiple
plans, print basic reports, and transmit completed plans to the
system administrator for further analysis. Typically the state
legislature hosts the Legislator Edition, but Caliper can host
if requested.
